Sun and Ice: Year-Round Adventure in Banff
Millions of years have carved out mountains, valleys and grottos making Alberta's Rocky Mountains a sportsman's paradise. Enthusiasts can find adventure in Banff year round by scaling towering peaks, climbing frozen waterfalls, diving to the depths of turquoise glacial lakes and spelunking deep, dark caves. Visitors looking for a more relaxing time can add a variety of activities to their itinerary: golfing at championship courses, fishing for trout in serene lakes or patiently waiting to see elusive wildlife.
OUTDOOR ADVENTURE ON LONG SUMMER DAYS
The extended days of summer allow recreationists to stretch out their adventures. The best way for nature lovers to take advantage of the light is to stay in the great outdoors. Visitors can join a camping and backpacking tour or rent camping equipment and book a campsite on their own.
Walking, hiking or biking along the winding trails of the Rockies are easily accessible activities for visitors. Thousands of trails zigzag the terrain around Banff, for all levels of fitness, from smooth, paved trails to more challenging slopes. The Trans-Canada Trail, a shared-use recreational trail that winds its way through every province and territory, is becoming the longest trail in the world. The Goat Creek Trail segment is an easy, rolling dirt trail that goes from Canmore to the Banff Springs Hotel. Adrenaline junkies can hike steep peaks above the tree line or climb the highest summits to breathe the fresh alpine air; there are plenty of companies that provide adventure equipment rental.
